Eleni may be young, but do not underestimate her. She's knows her animals - has named every one of them, she takes her egg-sales business very seriously and even finds time to play on the slip -and-slide and publish an indie magazine. Come meet this extraordinary young lady and be cheered, for the future of food is bright with young people like Eleni.
